Affectus in Caveam
This Punk is inspired by CryptoPunk #8523 and the portraits of Giuseppe Arcimboldo.
Giuseppe Arcimboldo — Vertumn, 1591
Giuseppe Arcimboldo — Air, 1566
This is reminiscent of the allegory portraits of the Italian painter of the Mannerist era Giuseppe Arcimboldo. He depicted combinations of plants, animals and other objects from which the image of a person was made. His series of portraits "Seasons" and "Four Elements" are known, where the image of each phenomenon was created from its inherent elements: for example, "Air" is a profile of a person who consists entirely of birds.
Henri Matisse — The Dessert: Harmony in Red, 1908
If we analyze the color palette of this Punk, then the dominant color, of course, can be called red, burgundy, and in some details of the image its saturation is similar to fauvistic red, which aggressively captures all the attention of the viewer. This is how this color behaves in the "Red Room" by Henri Matisse. Repeating itself in the shade of the walls and tablecloth, it literally "eats" the space. The viewer is forced to make an effort to see the objects of the painting and understand how they are located in relation to each other. The plot of the image has faded into the background, submitting to the influence of the blue-purple floral ornament and the garish palette of the room, which feels even more grotesque against the background of the courtyard view, where the shades, although bright enough, still look much more natural.
Kliment Redko — Uprising, 1925
The coloristics and geometry of this SupremePunk also resembles the composition of Kliment Redko "Uprising". Kliment Redko's painting is an unusual synthesis of religious canons and the Soviet, revolutionary context.Redko was originally an icon painter, so the very strange lighting of the surrounding objects can be mistaken for the "Tabor light", which mostly comes from the figure of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin.
The rhombus of people who form the center of the composition — the leader of the revolution and his associates - is associated with the diamond—like details of the iconography of the Savior in the forces, and the pandemonium of people - with the plot of the Last Judgment and the radical change of the Universe. It is clear that Kliment Redko idolized Lenin and shared the ideas of the revolution. He sincerely believed in the victory of communism and even wanted to return to his homeland from France in 1935, when a new wave of repression had already begun in the Soviet Union in light of the murder of Central Committee Secretary Sergei Kirov. In this context, Punk is perceived as a reflection of the real state of affairs in Soviet Russia. Instead of slender, consistent figures, chaos and disorder are visible, which was also in society, in party and state bodies. There is no longer any leader in the center, instead there is a "half—smile-half-cry" SupremePunk.
